Ned Block, Owen Flanagan and Guven Güzeldere’s The Nature of
Consciousness comprises 50 core papers from the consciousness debate. To
trace the manoeuvres of its cast of mystics, pessimists and materialists is to
see how rational inquiry proceeds over territory that science cannot (yet)
confidently tread. Anyone possessing a well-thumbed pop Dennett or Penrose will
covet this handsome “textbook”. Published by MIT Press, $29.95, ISBN
